Jack Petchey Foundation Achievement Awards

Jack Petchey Foundation logo

The Jack Petchey Foundation (JPF) was established by the successful East London entrepreneur, Jack Petchey in 1999. It is a young, progressive grant making Trust based in Ilford Essex and is now among the largest and most influential London charitable foundations. It focuses on projects and programmes that benefit 11-25 year olds. The main area of operation is the London boroughs and Essex, where it currently operates in 1600 secondary schools and youth clubs. There are smaller programmes elsewhere.

In addition to more traditional grant making functions, JPF plans to continue to introduce and develop new, far reaching programmes that benefit young people such as “Petchey’s Speak Out Challenge”, which is probably the largest youth speaking programme in the world.

RGA participates in this award scheme for young people aged 11 to 25 years old. Each month a young person is chosen to receive the award in recognition of hard work, endeavour or a contribution to the club which will help others.

The award winner is presented with a framed certificate, a pin badge and a cheque for £300 which can buy any item from the “wish list”. In consultation with RGA members and coaches, a “wish list” is drawn up of how the monthly award of £300 could be spent.

This scheme brings the following benefits:

  • RGA can recognise the effort, endeavour and achievement of young people in a new practical and positive way.
  • The scheme provides useful additional funds for RGA.

A young person may receive the award only once during their time with RGA.
